Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

"Well then. Welcome to Sandstone. I hope you'll find everybody friendly enough. We'll be working with you during your last month, so you can get a feel for how you like the others in the wing. By graduation, you'll be able to tell me if you want to remain with us, or go elsewhere." Al'dai smiled at the three recruits. "Sandstone is mid-altitude, along with Granite. We still get plenty of Thread, though. Shale can't get it all." He laughed shortly. "We have a mix of heavy dragons to build a strong core, and lighter dragons to give us flexibility and maneuverability. You'll be part of the core," he told Olayla. He glanced at the other two. "And you'll be part of the dextrous branches. You are going to be trained in darting slightly out of formation without disrupting the dragons around you. And you," he told Olayla with a small smile, "will practice flaming while performing maneuvers. If I heard correctly, your grey is good sized, correct? So she should be trained to hold her own even in a high gale." He smiled broadly at them all before tapping his lips. "Oh, and one other thing. By graduation, you're going to have to cut your hair." He grinned, a little ruefully. "Normally we don't care about your appearance, but Thread in hair can kill a person faster than a short drop between, and the helmets aren't made to accomodate many other styles." He eyed Olayla's long hair for a moment before adding, "It's all about safety and utility from here on out. If it makes you feel any better, short hair and rider's knots are a sign of distinction all across Pern, rather than a mark of ugliness." He laughed shortly once more.

Olayla nodded when Al'dai asked her about her grey's size. It was true, though Eyoith wasn't as large as she could be, she was still only a couple feet short. But for strength no other grey could match her with her broad barrel-like chest and otherwise heavily muscled frame. Eyo listened carefully to the comment and beat her wings stronger from where she was flying high above. She'd always took pride in her size, sure she wasn't dainty and feminine like most females but she was still agile and graceful with her shorter wings that were able to cut the air just as she wanted it.

The dark haired girl's eyes widened slightly when Al'dai told her that she'd have to cut her hair, but she schooled her expression "Ah.. yes sir." She'd known that for a dragonrider her hair would have to be cut short. She couldn't say that she liked the idea, her hair had always been part of who she was ever since she was little and she took great pride in it. But she realized that what Al'dai had said was true, it could be dangerous. Even if she kept it tied back it was still too long to be practical if she had to suddenly jump up to fight in the early hours she wouldn't have time to both deal with it and get Eyoith harnessed and ready to fight.

You will still be pretty with your hair cut. Eyoith added helpfully making her rider smile, I think it would be cooler too. Now that she thought about it she almost liked the idea of cutting her hair. Despite living most of her life in the surrounding desert, Vaioa summers were almost stupidly hot and she'd often complained about the heat while Eyoith seemed unfazed by it.

"Short hair would be cooler too." she shared the idea with Al'dai and gave a smile to her wingleader, as a sort of acceptance that she would indeed do what was necessary. Before impressing she wouldn't have ever considered the possibility of short hair. But she'd long ago accepted that she wasn't who she used to be.

Al'dai beamed with pride as the girl seemed first reluctant but then made an effort to embrace the idea. He didn't know much about Olayla's background but if she was holdborn then her behavior was definitely pleasing. Although he hadn't been a rider for too many Turns, he had seen a handful of scenarios he never wanted to witness, including one holdborn greenrider having a flat-out temper tantrum, with tears and wailing, when she was told she'd have to cut her hair. And she didn't see why, at the time, since we were in an Interval. But we can't afford to take any chances now. Still, he found himself immediately improving his private opinion of her. A new recruit who was willing to try new things despite misgivings was a good sign. He had a feeling once she'd begun training with them for a bit she'd find herself a useful niche... he'd have to look into it. If her grey was actually as good as he'd heard, then she really could help boost the core of his wing.

"I never did understand how anyone tolerated longer hair in the summer," he said with a little smile. As a Holdborn himself, he'd never had long hair; it just wasn't natural to the conservative holdfolk, although he knew Weyr men often kept it a bit longer than he did. "Well, I appreciate your attitude, and I am eager to start training with you." He gave her another encouraging smile and glanced at the other two as well. "If you guys don't have any other questions or anything, you're free to go. We'll see you tomorrow morning after breakfast for your first session."
